Sensible Suggestions.
(Wilcox Stockman.

A meeting of stockmen was recently h l at r es ;utt to consider al d devise U Q pest means and methods ot organizing the stocsmen of Yavapai county into an association for the better protection of their interests. At this meeting a com mittee was appointed to make d report as to the best course to be pursued to a,. conplish the results deslred. Inc com mittee, which was composed of some Of the leading and most progressive range men of Northern Arizona, made a lengthy report, which wa unanimously adol ted. The length of the report precludes our publishing 1t in full, but we copy the following sensible suggestions, which were embodied as part of the report, and which are as applicable to the stock men of the other counties of the Terri tory as to those of Yavapai:
 In closins our report Ne cannot too earnestly urge upon all stockmen the absolute necessity that at present exists for thorough organization on their part, not only on account of the burd ensome laws with which their interests are t present oppressed, but other causes no less injurious in their character. Whi e it IS impractieable to portray at length m this report what might be accomplished by thorough organization among stock men, we would suggest the following prominent subjects on which relief or le- form mi ght be had:
 First The repeal of all laws discrim- mating against the stock interests, and the enactment in their stead of equitable and beneficial measures.
 c z .n ct H. men in the enjoyment of vested rights ill rLnge and water locations against tres passers-a protection which has been made most necessary by the setting aside of all Territorial quarantine regulations, and the absence of any restrictive laws having for their object the protection of the ranges of the Territory from the tramp herds of other sections. Third-The better protection of stock men from the depredations of cattle thieves, by the increased facilities given by organization for the speedy apprehen- sion and conviction of such characters. Fourth-The adoption of better | methods in the handling of cattle during rodeos, with more equitable distribu- tion of the labor and expense attending the same.
 Fifth-The adoption of such means as will secure more uniformity m the mat ter of grading up" by making all stock men bear equally the burden of provid- mg bulls.
 Sixth-The passage of laws that will prevent the mtrodution of diseased cat tie on the ranges of the Territory.
 Seventh-The securing of better rates of transportation on cattle en route tt the market from the railroads, and also from commission houses and stock yards for handling the same, concessions usually made to cj-operate bodies
 Eight-securing of a more equitable and just basis of taxation on cattle by having the assessments on such property made more in proportion with it's actual value, and also securing the repeal of the special tax, which at present is imposed on all capital invested in the same.

The "Parsee Chair"

The ''Parsee chair" is announced as the successor of the hammock. A sea- shore correspondent who has seen one describes it as a sort of box or cradle of mahogany, with a high back and low sides. It is covered with Hindu rugs and two large, soft pillows worked in rich Turkish embroidery. At each corner the chair is supported by ropes which depend from the roof and which run through hollow pieces of mahogany, making the supports seem like slender and flexible wooden columns. ''In the Parsee chair, '' it seems, "a lady may lounge and swing in the most luxurious of poses and the most picturesque of attitudes, without suffering that curvature of the spine which the hammock entails.

Each person is in his own company so much of the time that he is liable to be deeply affected by the association. As the French monarch said at last: ''I am the state;' so each person i'll life the most private becomes by degrees an owner of the world and assumes that the world is l: q am the summing up of things.

niugs, depriyiug the Drill Committee
of receipts from that source, and they
also cut out u portion of each days
programme, as for Instance the dress
parades, at iive o'clock, p. m, which
would have attracted mahy spectators.
General Greely visited headquarters
shortly after the FIRST storm and In re
sponse to some jocular reproaehes about
the weather promised that 1t should be
good for the rest of the week.
The Gensral Of the Virginia Brigade
and the members of his staff expressed
themselves as much pleased with the
results OF the encampment 80 far rs
their men were concerned. They said
it had been camp OF Instruction to
them, many of whom needed such ex-
perieuce. The strictest military disci'
pline has been maintained aud the
troops have been required to attend to
every camp duty with rs much ldelity
rs though they were actually In service
in the field. One Of the officers also
said that the encampment had been of
great benefit to many of the officers
They were good drill officers in their
own armories hut knew little of the du.
ties required Of them in the field. Some
of the captains have had their men up
and in line at five O'Clock in the morn
ing, and no point has been neglected to
give them all the benefit Of instruction
that camp otfords.
The chief interest of the Drill now
lies in that which nobody has yet found
out, namely: how the various companies
stand IN. the competitive drill, and
which will get the SIS 900 prize. The
announcement of the awards will be
made by the judges at three O'Clock
this afternoon at the Drill grounds,
with due ceremony, and until this for
NAL pres entation no one but the judges
will know who are the winners. Gen
eral Sheridan selected the army officers
who are the judges of the Drill and he
will present the prizes to the successful
competitors.

ADECISION A OFTHE PENNSNLNA.
MA SUPREME COURT REVERS-
ED.
The State Cannot,imposc Tax On the
Gross Receipts of Al SteamshipiCom-
pany Derived from Transport
ing Passengers.

WASHINGTON, May 27,-When the
United States supreme court assembled
at noon to day there was q large attend
auce of telephone people, including rep
resentativeS OF interested plrties in
Boston, New York and Philadelphia,
who anticipated decision In the tele-
phone cases, They were all, however,
disappointed, as no decision in those
cases was made. Judgements were
briefly announced in about forty cases,
the most important Of which are as
follows No. 202 The Philadelphia
aud Southern Mail Steamship Compa.
ny versus The Commonw wealth Of
Pennsylvania. In error to ths supreme
court of that state. The decision in
this case whether the state can con-
stitutionally impose upon steamship
company Incorporated under its laws
tax upon the gross receipts, derived
from the transportation of persons and
property by sea between different stat
es. and to and from fnref,n cnrntrie0.
The court, in long and careful opIn-
ion by Justice Bradley. decides that the
states cannot impose such tax, for the
reason that it would be regulation OF
interstate commerce. This decision,
so far as it relates to taxation of inter.
state commerce carried on by corpora
tlons, applies equally to domestic and
foreign corporations. The capital stock
of the former, regarded as inhabitants
of state or their property, may be
taxed as other corporations carrying on
foreign or interstate commerce, SO as 10
make the tax in effect tax on such
commerce ; but their business as carri-
ers in foreign or interstate commerce
cannot be taxed by q state under the
plea that they are exercising a fran
chise. The judgement of the supreme
court of Pennsylvania is reversed.
The court rendered decisions to- day
in about forty cases. Only few of
the judgments announced are of public
interest. The petition for hearing of
the Maxwell land grant case denied,
The court adjourned for the term.

Chicaco's Great Strike,

New York, May 30. The next six
days are liable 10 witness the critical
period in the great strike Of the build
Ing trades. For four weeks strike has
followed strike, terminating in lock-
out affecting to n greater or less eN'
tent almost every trade in lhe city of
Chicago. Fully 1900 men are idle,
and it is stated upon good authority
that over 1000 first class mechanics
have left the city. y careful estimate
shows that wages 10 the amount OF
500, 900 have been lost TO the strikers.
II is impossible TO estimate the amount
Of capital which has been diverted
from the building trades. Well known
eastern capitalists have instructed their
Chicago agents 10 make no invest
mcnts pending the adjustment Of the
strike, and in several eases Large enter
prlses Will be dropped until next year,
and perhaps for ever. The master ma
sons realizing that SO long as trades
unions were governed by their present
laws and customs the strike was liable
to be duplicated at anytime, resolved to
make a supreme effort to force the alb
clifton of the abuses of which they
were conspicuous victims. The code
of principles and working rules adopt
ed would, IL enforced, result in the
comple.e abolition Of the unions rs
now constituted. The developments
OF last week have demonstrated that
this is accomplished il must be done
by tie master masons. They formula
ted the plan of the campaign and have
asked the kindred trades 10 indorse
their code of principles and follow in
their footsteps.

Nom Union Men Fire Into. "a Crowd
ofKnig hts of Labor.


NATRoNA. Pa, May 20. Though 1t
had been evideut for several weeks
that a crisis of u serious nature must
be the outcome OF the strike at the
Salt works here, nobody seemed TO be
prepared for the outbreak that came last
night. The threats and tie FIRST steps
taken IN the proc sso o: evicl'ng knights
of Labcr from their little homes, be
cause they saw NJ To demand batter
terms ut the hands OF the manufacturers
than was accorded, have stirred up q
good bit Of bitterness. Indeed, IL has
been deemed unsafe 10 leave the works
and the non union workers without
guards at the close OF each week.
Hence guards have been on hand re-
peatedly. All this has embittered the
strikers aud tended equally TO enrage
their opposing workers when any i'm
mediate cause OF provocation has aris.
en-. The $500 sent on day or two a
go TO aid tie knights in their strike
did not s0othe the feelings of the other
fellows, but had tie opposite effect.
Last night q number of unionists at
the works engaged in quarrel with
five or six Knights who had come
down from Creighton. Hot words aud
threats passed rapidly from both sides,
and in less time than it takes 10 tell IL
the non. .unionists had fired into the
crowd Of combatants on the other side.
Two OF the Knights were wuuuted.
One OF tnem, q man named Green, was
at first supposed to be fatally hurt, but
the doctors, on further examination,
decided that his wounds might not
prove so serious. The other wounded
man sustained quite Insignificant in
juries. To adequately describe the ex
citement that accompinie1 and followed
the shooting, would be difficult task
The dispuIants were, for the most part,
drunk, and some OF them raved around
as il they were quite willing TO engage
in n general riot. Every man whose
sympathies have been aroused on eth
er side, seems TO be SO easily ipsulted
that it would have been easy, for sew
eial hours, TO have provoked riot Of
Of large dimensions, But hostilities
are for time suspended.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Prom our regular correspondent)
WASHINGTON, May 30th, lSS

(Prom our regular correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, May S0th, 1887.
The past week has been very
lively aud interesting one in Wash
ington. The National Drill has been
the great event of course. and the pro-
gramme was SO arranged that each day
of the week had some important event
of its own, so that there was variety
and interest all the time. To-day (Dec-
oration Day is legal holiday. The
Departments are closed, and the Gov
ernment employees are free.
Unusually elaborate memorial SER
vices haye been arranged to take place
at Arlington, Soldiers Home cemetery,
the Congressional cemetery and at Gen.
eral Logan's tomb. The soldiers who
haye participated in rhe National Drill
will join the Grand Army of the Re-
public and the Army of the Potomac
10 professions to these places, ,and there
will he music and oratory and prayers
and poetry and hoWers.
The contests of the Drill are over, but
the encampment does not break up un-
til this evening. The military compa
nies which went through the ordeal of
the competitive drills, after their duties
were ended, gave themselves up to fun,
sightseeing and the enjoyment of camp
life, The soldiers from Maine add New
Hampshire think it is pretty hot wealth
er in Washington and on some OF the
narades a few OF them were overcome
by the heat each day. But the lads
from Texas and Louisiana think it is
very cold for May, and shiver and put
on their oyercoats. Altogether the
health of the camp has been good, con-
siderinp there are 80 many soldiers
here from various climates who lave
been subjected to changes OF different
kinds and TO unusual exertion and ia
tigue. Still the hospital has proved an
indispensability of the camp and there
has been constant demand for the SER
vices of the Red Cross Society, which
has charge of 1t.
When the rain and wind amounting
almost to a cyclone struck the city OF
tents ON three successive afternoons,
making havoc with camp para phernalia
of every kind and buffeting and drench
ing the soldiers, the latter felt that they
were having taste of the realities of
military life on war basis which they
had hardly anticipated. The rain
storms were quite disastrous, too. to
the finances of the Drill. Besides un-
roofing the grand stand and causing
other damages which represented actual
outlay, they caused postponement of
the pyrorama performance on two eye

IT is principally due to the efforts
of our worthy representative, Hon.
John A. Woodward, that the legisla-
ture made an appropriation of over
100000 to the Pennsylvania State
College, located in this county. 1t
has been President Atherton's desire
for several years to make necessary
repairs and improvements on the col
